Default I need a lightweight /high performance clutch for the RUF.

I want to upgrade my clutch to something high performance/ light weight in my new toy. my dyno sheet says it makes 529hp and 484 ft lbs torque.

I want to lose weight, get a strong clutch, and have something that is easy to drive in traffic too.

I also will want to be able to "add" 25-50 more hp in the future so I don't want to buy something that can just "barely" hold the power with my current setup.

all suggestions are appreciated. suggested vendors for fair pricing is also appreciated.

I have the Sachs race pressure plate and RS flywheel with the metal sintered GT3RS clutch disk and hardware in stock.. This unit will hold your power output..

I just got Kevin's LWF/clutch/PP kit. It's great. I was expecting clutch engagement to be a little trickier, but it's still very easy to drive around town. There is some gearbox rattle under load at very low RPMs, but it's not the least bit objectionable to my ears.

Highly recommended! The throttle response is fantastic when matching revs for downshifts. I can't understand why Porsche didn't sell it this way.

FYI, my clutch disc was worn to the rivets at 72k miles. It wasn't slipping yet, but it wouldn't have lasted much longer.
